@CowperKettle Holy sh!t

No really, cortones are holy shit

They're like a curse with benefits

> The effect of dexamethasone was most striking among critically ill patients on ventilators. Those who were receiving oxygen therapy but were not on ventilators also saw improvement: their risk of dying was reduced by 20%. The steroid had no effect on people with mild cases of COVID-19 — those not receiving oxygen or ventilation.

Hmm, it would make sense because of that fatal cytokine cascade

@Daniil Maybe in that dictionaries often include what entry and what meaning uses "of" and what uses "in"

@Daniil "position in a sentence" and "position of a sentence" mean two completely different things. See Fumble Fingers' comment. I guess it can

also be closed as 'doesn't include enough details', but four other reviewers had already VtCed with the 'dictionary lookup' reason.

@M.A.R. I've had dexamethasone injected into my eye many times

To stave off corneal graft rejection

Yes, it is a miracle drug.

@Daniil ah, of course. Non-3k users can't see that, not even in the timeline. I was going to blame the system for that, but I realize moderators can do something about this. I'll throw up a Meta post.

that's what I meant

eh ... at least I thought so never mind, found it

@CowperKettle My poison is prednisolone

The 'Kentler Project' in West Berlin routinely placed homeless children with pedophile men, assuming they'd make ideal foster parents.

Word of the day: oculus uterque (in both eyes)

@Daniil How did you tag @Glorfindel? I thought you couldn't ping someone in a room if they haven't joined it

I am trying to get a relatively new contributor to this room. Can't seem to do that

@Daniil Also congratulations on being elected Drones moderator!

Just noticed it

Hi, I wanna ask something.

Sure go ahead

I am writing this chapter...

I am not a professional writer.

is it okay to write “are you 2 coming”?

@PrinceßádhWoloski I would spell out 2: two

Also consider this: Are you two coming? Or are you going to...

But this is a matter of style and personal preference

Thank you &EddieKal 😄
